Shorlisted for the BAFTSS 2020 Award for Best Monograph Starting
out as an independent filmmaker, and despite his films being
subjected to censorship in his native China, Jia Zhangke has become
the country’s leading film director internationally. Seen as one
of world cinema’s foremost auteurs, he has played a crucial role
in documenting and reflecting upon China’s era of intense
transformations since the 1990s.. CecÃlia Mello provides in-depth
analysis of Jia’s unique body of work, from his early films Xiao
Wu and Platform, to experimental quasi-documentary 24 City and the
audacious Mountains May Depart. Mello suggests that Jia’s
particular expression of the realist mode is shaped by the
aesthetics of other Chinese artistic traditions, allowing Jia to
unearth memories both personal and collective, still lingering
within the ever-changing landscapes of contemporary China.
Mello’s groundbreaking study opens a door into Chinese cinema and
culture, addressing the nature of the so-called ‘impure’
cinematographic art and the complex representation of China through
the ages. Foreword by Walter Salles and with a new preface by the
author.
